What kinds of things do you like? Hiking, biking, hunting, fishing, golf, pro/college sports, operas, plays concerts...etc.
Generally in WA and ORE, once you get on the East side of the Cascades, you get a lot more sunshine/cold in winter/hotter in summer/wind depending on location...like Ellensburg, the wind is pretty much 24X7 but a lot less rain and grey. It is a ghost town when school is out.

Hiking, biking, plays, concerts, food.
Here is a list I started and comparing stats (I know it pretty much runs the I-5 from OR. to Canada):
Longview, WA
Tacoma, WA
Ferndale, WA
Bellingham, WA
Vancouver, WA
Puyallup, WA
Bothell, WA
Everett, WA
Olympia WA
Those all get around 35-40 inches rain... but as was said early on not so much the rain but the grey gloomy days... would like 150-200 days of sunshine.
Also spent my whole life in the big city... so would like something in a small/medium size (around 30-50K-ish)
